What should I be paid/next position

So, I have about 6-8 years experience, and I know I'm underpaid.  I took a position for the experience in my job history for the experience and not the money, and while it has been progressed my knowledge 2-3 years, it was not financially remunerative.

I have debt/equity experience structuring, development/transaction management, acquisitions, budgeting, financing.  So, I am a real estate generalist, but I think I have mid level experience in most facets.

I'm  in a sr. financial analyst role, doing the generalist duties.  My company has investments across the capital stack and risk structure, we just started our own "debt fund".  So I help out across the board.  We have capital in the low nine figures which we want to be the gp on value add, opportunistic and core(stabilized) Industrial Assets.  I have experience in EVERYTHING but industrial, but I'm catching up. 

I have a base and low bonus, and if you took our AUM you would think it is a small company, but we have a lot of capital.

So given the above, what does everyone think I should be making.  Or, what should I be asking for if I am tasked with finding LPs and Origination...in addition to my duties.  Part of me doesn't want to lift a finger more to do more work and have more responsibility without a pay raise and written documention of how I get paid if I bring in deals/equity.  Ideally, these are deals that ownership will hold indefinitely, so I'm not sure carry is a thing?  What type of bonus structure or deal structure do other people in similar positions have/have heard of.

Essentially it is the two heads of the company running things, but I have more(direct) experience than they do(transitionally).  

Thanks
